Dear Jackson families,
Please join us this Wednesday to celebrate the retirement of Mrs. McElroy after 29 years of service. We have been so fortunate to have her as our music teacher at Jackson for so many years, and we hope you can join us to wish her the best! Her reception will be from 3:30-5:00pm and refreshments will be served.
Also, one of Jackson’s most fun evenings of the year is coming up on Thursday! Come see the artwork created by Jackson students and classrooms at our annual Art Night event on Thursday, May 10 from 6-8pm. Be sure to pre-order your child’s art, by returning the order form or online at www.jacksontigerspta.org.
Lastly, we are looking for volunteers to help with Jackson’s Super Kids Day on Friday, May 18th. This fun day includes field games, activities and more. If you can help, please complete and return the Super Kids Day Volunteer form in your child’s folder or email mcoleman@norman.k12.ok.us.
